Burma Task Force USA was established August 2013 with the
following goals:

To stop
the genocide of Burmese Muslims

To open
doors for relief organizations to work in Burma

To improve
the treatment of the Rohingya refugees in India, Thailand, and Bangladesh

To
achieve full freedom of religion by opening all mosques, permit Muslims to
marry, freedom to have children, and restore full citizenship by
canceling 1982 law which makes them stateless people

To
dismantle concentration camps and try police officers and soldiers or
anyone who raped women or participated in ethnic cleansing as a war crime

To
provide access to media, to international relief organizations, to human
rights organizations

The
Burmese President should withdraw his statement that Rohingyas should be
settled in a third country.

Work Done:

Successful
campaign resulting in President Obama speaking up in his trip to Burma
about Rohingya in brief but strong way

Many
memos and meetings with State department and different agencies.

Media
regularly receives our letters to improve their writing style about
Burmese Muslims so that instead of calling “communal riots” the clearly
identify the attackers as well as the victims. And instead of given the
government version of Rohingyas being illegal Bengalis, they mention their
claims that they are in their ancestral land

Sustained
campaign of pressure on the Burma opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi to
speak up for minority rights of Muslims through solidarity demonstrations
where ever she went in the US

Meetings
with OIC leadership

About
100,000 people receive our action alert called “Burma Alert.” Almost twice
a month. Some times more often.

We are
strong in social media: Right now we have 140,000 people who follow us on
Facebook.

Several
demonstrations have been organized in New York, Washington DC, Chicago,
San Jose, Los Angeles, and Toronto
